Michigan State University Observatory

Michigan State University Observatory is an astronomical observatory owned and operated by Michigan State University. It is located south of the Michigan State University campus in East Lansing, Michigan (USA), near the corner of Forest Rd and College Rd. It has a Cassegrain telescope in its single dome. Built by Boller and Chivens, the Michigan State University telescope was commissioned in 1969 and entered regular operation in 1970. In 1974, what was at the time a state-of-the-art Raytheon Microcomputer was installed to function as a data gathering and control system. Originally, single channel photoelectric photometry and photography using plates or film were the means of acquiring data. The observatory was closed from 1981 until 1986, at a time when the university was having financial difficulties. It was reopened in the spring of 1986 on the occasion of the return of Comet Halley and has been in regular operation ever since. Since the 1980s, a CCD camera has been employed as the main instrument and the Raytheon computer has been retired. The International Astronomical Union has assigned the MSU Observatory identification code 766. Prior observatory This present campus observatory is not the first to have been built on the MSU campus. In 1880, Professor Rolla C. Carpenter built an observatory for the (then) State Agricultural College to house an Alvan Clark & Sons refracting telescope of 5.5 inches aperture. The observatory was located behind his residence at Faculty Row No.2, near where Sarah Langdon Williams Hall stands today. The original telescope is on exhibit at the Abrams Planetarium. Public viewing Approximately one pair of evenings per month, if the sky is sufficiently clear, the MSU observatory opens its doors for public observing. The MSU 0.6 meter telescope will be set up for viewing on selected astronomical objects throughout the evening. Also, smaller telescopes are set up in the observatory parking lot, with both local area and MSU astronomers on hand to answer questions.

Mitchell State Park

William Mitchell State Park is a public recreation area covering 660 acres (270 ha) on the southwest side of Cadillac in northern lower Michigan. The state park is located between Lake Mitchell and Lake Cadillac. The historic Clam Lake Canal, approximately one-third of a mile in length, connects the two lakes and runs directly through the park. Dug in 1873 at the direction of city father George A. Mitchell, the canal allowed felled trees to be floated from Lake Mitchell to lumber mills on Lake Cadillac. History The park bears the name of William W. Mitchell, who during the 1890s operated sawmills in the area as co-owner of the Cobbs and Mitchell Mill No. 1, and who was a nephew of city founder George Mitchell. Under the name Cadillac State Park, it was among 13 parks established in 1920 following the creation of the Michigan State Parks Commission a year earlier. The park's "prime real estate" was donated by Mitchell's widow, Ellen, who requested the park be named in her late husband's honor. Features The park is home to Carl T. Johnson Hunting and Fishing Center which documents the history of hunting and fishing, offers seminars, workshops and audio-visual presentations, and includes an exhibit hall which displays local wildlife species. Activities and amenities The park offers a campground with 221 sites, cabins, two boat launches, playground, beach, picnicking facilities, and fishing for perch, walleye, panfish, and bass. The 2.5-mile (4.0 km) Heritage Nature Trail runs through a woodland and marsh environment. The trail, mostly a woodchip path with a series of bridges and boardwalks, provides a study area supporting a variety of plants and wildlife. Winter activities include snowmobiling, ice fishing, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing.

Muskallonge Lake State Park

Muskallonge Lake State Park is a state park located in Luce County in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is located in Deer Park about 16 miles (25.7 km) east of Grand Marais along H-58. The park encompasses 217 acres (87.8 ha) between the shores of Lake Superior and Muskallonge Lake where Native Americans once had an encampment and where a station of the United States Life-Saving Service once stood. History The park occupies land just west of Deer Park, a 19th-century mill town that all but disappeared once the forests on which its mill depended were gone. The state park is also the site of former Station Muskallong Lake (Coast Guard Station #295; later called Station Deer Park), one of five such stations along the coast of Lake Superior between Munising and Whitefish Point in the Upper Peninsula. It was part of U.S. Life-Saving Service District 10 (later part of District 11). The other four stations along Lake Superior's "Shipwreck Coast" were Grand Marais, Two Heart, Crisp Point Light, and Vermilion Point. Deer Park Life-Saving Station was in service from 1876 to 1909. The park was transferred from the Forestry Division to Parks and Recreation Division in 1957. Activities and amenities The park offers swimming and fishing and includes a 159-site campground, boat launch, picnic area, playground, and trails for hiking and snow-mobiling. The park has the darkest skies for a state park in the entire state of Michigan, which makes the state park a great place for astronomy.

Petoskey State Park

Petoskey State Park is a public recreation area covering 303 acres (123 ha) on Lake Michigan in Bear Creek Township, Emmet County, Michigan. The state park is located three miles (4.8 km) northeast of the city of Petoskey on Little Traverse Bay. It is surrounded by heavily vegetated sand dunes that are excellent examples of parabolic dunes. Michigan's state stone, the Petoskey stone, can be found on the park beach. History The park occupies part of the site where William Wirt Rice (1833–1891) built a tannery in 1885 at the mouth of what came to be called Tannery Creek. The tannery occupied 180 acres that were eventually divided between Petoskey State Park and the commercial district on U.S. Highway 31. At its peak, the tannery employed some 200 workers and processed over 1000 hides—primarily buffalo—per day. The tannery closed in 1952, and its buildings were torn down in 1963. The City of Petoskey purchased a portion of the tannery's land north of Tannery Creek in 1934 and created the Petoskey Bathing Beach. The City of Petoskey purchased a portion of the tannery's land north of Tannery Creek in 1934 and created the Petoskey Bathing Beach. The Michigan Conservation Commission approved the creation of Petoskey State Park on the old tannery lands—with the potentiality of also purchasing the city's bathing beach for inclusion as well—in June 1961. The large southern portion of the park property was purchased by the State in 1962, although no park development occurred for another several years. The State of Michigan purchased the beach from the City of Petoskey for $150,000 in 1968, took title in 1969, and the first 90 sites in the park's campground opened in June 1970. Activities and amenities The park offers a mile-long sand beach for swimming, a trail that ascends the Old Baldy sand dune, picnicking facilities, and a 178-site campground.

Rynearson Stadium

Rynearson Stadium, nicknamed "The Factory", is a stadium in Ypsilanti, Michigan. It is primarily used for American football, and is the home field of the Eastern Michigan University Eagles. Currently, the stadium has seating for 30,200 people. The stadium is located on the school's west campus, just south of the Huron River. History The stadium held its first game on September 27, 1969, when EMU upset the University of Akron, 10–3. It originally consisted of two opposite sideline stands around the field and running track. It was one of only two stadiums in the MAC which shared its football field with a running track (UB Stadium being the other) prior to the removal of the track as part of stadium renovations in 2024. The stadium was named for the late Elton J. Rynearson Sr., who coached football at Eastern Michigan for 26 seasons. His teams compiled a record of 114–58–15. In one six-year period, from 1925–30, Rynearson’s teams won 40 games, tied two, and lost just four. The largest attendance for an EMU game at Rynearson Stadium was 26,188 (87% of capacity), on November 28, 2008, for a 56–52 win over Central Michigan. The stadium has also hosted high school football games. Renovations In 1992, the seats were expanded south from each grandstand but not connected, giving the stadium the look of an unfinished horseshoe. This was done to conform to the new Division I-A rules for minimum stadium size. Originally a grass field, the field has been artificial since 1991 and was upgraded to FieldTurf in 2005. More recently, the original FieldTurf was replaced prior to the 2014 season by a new gray FieldTurf surface. This made Rynearson Stadium only the third Division I FBS stadium with a non-traditional field color (after Albertsons Stadium at Boise State and Brooks Stadium at Coastal Carolina) and the sixth college football stadium overall with this feature. Lighting was added in 1974, partially due to the Detroit Wheels of the World Football League using the stadium as their home field. In 2024, as part of a $1 million donation by former EMU football player Maxx Crosby and his wife and ex-soccer player Rachel Crosby, the playing field was renamed Crosby Field. Renovations included the installation of new playing surface, as well as the removal of the track surrounding the field and the construction of a new track-only facility to replace it.

Phare de l'île Manitou du Sud

Le phare de l'île Manitou du Sud (en anglais : South Manitou Island Lighthouse), est un phare du lac Michigan, situé sur l'île Manitou du Sud à 26 km à l'ouest de Leland, dans le Comté de Leelanau, Michigan. Ce phare est inscrit au Registre national des lieux historiques depuis le 28 octobre 1983 sous le no 83003782 et au Michigan State Historic Preservation Office depuis le 21 septembre 1976. Historique Il s'agit du troisième phare construit sur l'île. La construction du premier a commencé en 1839 et le phare a été mis en service en 1840, sous la garde du gardien de phare William N. Burton, qui avait une entreprise de bois d'œuvre florissante. Il avait une Lewis lamp (en), qui a été mise à niveau avec une lentille de Fresnel du quatrième ordre. La détérioration du bâtiment a conduit à la reconstruction complète du phare en 1858. Au fil du temps, cette lumière a été jugée déficiente et le phare actuel a été construit en 1872. Avec une lentille de Fresnel du troisième ordre, cette lumière possédait un plan focal de 104 pieds (32 m). Le site est sous le contrôle du National Park Service, en collaboration avec le Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Le phare a été mis hors service en 1958 pour devenir un musée. La Manitou Island Memorial Society a été créée pour préserver, protéger, restaurer et rallumer la lumière sur l'île Manitou du Sud et ailleurs. L'intérieur du logement était fermé et recouvert de graffitis. Les efforts de collecte de fonds ont permis à éliminer les graffitis et à réparer les bâtiments du phare. Dans les années 1980, la fondation des tours a été renforcée pour la protéger de l'érosion à une époque où le niveau des lacs était élevé et menaçait de renverser la structure. Aujourd'hui, la tour est ouverte et les guides proposent des visites. Le Park Service a restauré la salle des lanternes et l'escalier en colimaçon de la tour à l'été 2008, et une réplique de la lentille Fresnel du troisième ordre d'origine a été installée dans la lanterne à la fin de l'automne. La lumière a été réactivée en mai 2009 et est allumée de mai à novembre. Le site est ouvert avec son centre d'accueil tous les jours de la mi-mai à octobre. La tour est ouverte aux visites guidées pendant les mois d'été. Description Le phare est une tour cylindrique en brique, avec galerie et lanterne de 20 m de haut. La tour est peinte en blanc et la lanterne est noire. Il émet, à une hauteur focale de 32 m, une lumière fixe blanche. Identifiant : ARLHS : USA-773 ; USCG : 7-18357.

Tobico Marsh

Tobico Marsh, located just north of Bay City, Michigan, is part of the Bay City Recreation Area. Tobico Marsh was designated as a registered National Natural Landmark in 1976 because of its large size, relatively undisturbed condition and variety of aquatic plant life. With nearly 2,000 acres (8.1 km2) of wetland woods, wet meadows, cattail marshlands and oak savannah prairies, Tobico Marsh is one of the largest remaining freshwater, coastal wetlands on the Great Lakes. Habitat Comprising 1,652 acres (6.69 km2), the marsh contains three distinct habitats: a wide expanse of open water, an extensive area of marshland, and a mixed hardwood forest. History The first private ownership of Tobico Marsh was by logging interests. As logging diminished, the land was sold to several individuals who formed the Tobico Hunting and Fishing Club. In 1956, Guy Garber and Frank Andersen, the only surviving members, realized the value of the area as a wildlife refuge. Andersen donated the property to the State of Michigan in 1957 and it became the Tobico State Wildlife Refuge. Later, the State obtained adjacent land and formed the Tobico Marsh State Game Area, with the wildlife refuge as its core. In 1995, the refuge and game area were merged with the adjacent Bay City State Park, forming the Bay City State Recreation Area. References External links Bay City State Recreation Area
